Van Wert, Dec. 19.—Three have united with the church here, one was baptized, a few others have commenced the observance of the Lord’s Sabbath, and nine have joined the tract society. S. S. and T. and M. record books have been purchased. The brethren will engage more earnestly in this part of the work than they have done in the past. I shall continue the meetings until the 21st, the Lord willing. G. G. RUPERT.

Clyde.—We have just closed a very excellent meeting here. About seventy-five brethren and sisters were present. We had freedom in speaking. Sabbath forenoon we spoke on temperance and the duty of signing the pledge. A social-meeting followed, in which nearly all spoke, approving the temperance movement. Many gave interesting experiences, and several who had been opposers or had held back, now said they were ready to sign the pledge. This they did the next day, when a temperance club was formed.

We took up the subject of circulating Good Health, and different ones became responsible for obtaining a given number of subscribers, either for a year or for the

trial trip. Over one hundred and fifty subscribers were thus pledged. This is what each one of our churches in Ohio should do immediately. We had a Sabbath-school convention, which was deeply interesting. D. M. CANRIGHT.
